Crosley Radio Announces 25 Kentucky Schools Participating in their Inaugural Custom Cruiser Contest

LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Crosley Radio is excited to announce that 25 high schools across Kentucky are participating in the first-ever Crosley Custom Cruiser Contest in hopes of winning $2,500 for the art department donated by Crosley. This unique competition invites students to customize Crosley’s iconic Cruiser Record Player, merging music and art into a fun and creative challenge.

Inspired by the theme “Sounds of Kentucky,” students from each school will be drawing, painting, and creating onto their own physical Crosley Cruiser, using Kentucky’s rich musical heritage to guide their creativity. The design contest, which runs until November 1, offers cash prizes for the top five designs, with $2,500 awarded to the first-place school and $500 for the runners-up.

In a show of support, several well-known Kentucky artists, including Grammy-nominated Jack Harlow, Tyler Childers, My Morning Jacket, and Grammy-winner Sturgill Simpson have donated vinyl records to inspire the students as they bring their designs to life.

“At Crosley, we’re so excited to be supporting young artists and fostering creativity. This contest is a celebration of both Kentucky’s rich musical traditions and the next generation of creative minds. We’re excited to see how students across the state bring their visions to life,” said Crosley Radio President Keith Starr.

Once the schools submit their finished designs, the public will play a key role in selecting the winners. An online voting period will open from Nov. 6-12, allowing the community to vote for their favorite designs once a day. This gives schools a chance to rally their supporters and compete for one of the top spots.
